A goalkeeper in Turkey had a very painful confrontation with a fan after he was attacked by a fan using a corner flag.

Goztepe were hosting Altay at the Gürsel Aksel Stadyumu and not no one could have imagined that such a shocking incident could rock the game. Well, except maybe for the fan.

GMS reports that the game was first marred by a fan assumed to be Altay's throwing a flare that caught a fan of the other team on the face. The game was stopped momentarily as medical help was sought for the affected fans.

Ambulances were driven into the pitch, with players milling around the scene as the medical personnel was checking out the fans.

Among the players was Altay's goalkeeper Ozan Evrim Özenç. A Gotzepe fan invaded the pitch and ran towards the group of players.

The fan uprooted the corner flag as he went and viciously attacked Ozan from behind. The fan landed two heavy blows on Ozan's back before he was stopped in his tracks by security and other players.

Ozan lay on the floor with SportBible reporting that he had to be rushed to the hospital after suffering a four-centimetre head wound. It is still not clear why Ozan was specifically targeted.

The game was suspended immediately. A number of Gotzepe fan accounts have since called for stern action to be taken against the perpetrators of the incident.

Chaotic scenes in Zenit vs Spartak Moscow

Looks like it was a weekend dominated by ugly scenes. Sports Brief has also reported that a referee in Russia was forced to send off six players when a cup tie between Zenit St. Petersburg and Spartak Moscow turned into a massive brawl.

The incident happened in stoppage time and was triggered by Quincy Promes and William Barros. Referee Vladimir Moskalev tried to tone down the confrontation between the two players, but it was a tad too late.

Members of both teams' technical benches and players who were on the bench jumped on the pitch, exchanging blows and kicks. In a viral video, Moskalev is seen running helplessly trying to restore calm.
